Call in at the shop/PO and ask for your copy of the Welcome booklet, which tells you all you need to know about the village. Visit www.seend.org.uk and the Spotlight facebook page: www.facebook.com/seendspotlight 2 Welcome to April Spotlight Old hands know that you don‟t have to be a real-ale obsessive to enjoy the Seend Beer Festival on April 29th. Yes, there are plenty of real ales and ciders to enjoy, but just as important are the friendly atmosphere (child-friendly in the afternoon), food and music. Other village events are listed inside, including Easter church activities, plus a further Shuttle timetable revision. Apologies to those contributors we have had to edit this month; it can be a struggle to keep the contents of Spotlight down to a manageable 24 pages of editorial! There is sad news about a sheep-worrying incident in the village (see page 5). Dog walkers are reminded to keep their animals on the lead when near farm animals – especially at lambing time. This particular event appears to involve a dog with no previous record of aggression toward farm animals, being walked along a track adjacent to, not crossing, a field, so you really can‟t be too careful. We have recently had one of those sad clusters of deaths in our community, including two figures who have been of great importance in the development of Seend Social Club as was and Seend Community Centre as it is now: Eric Akerman back in the early days, and Max Bolton over the last decade. A tribute to Max is on page 3. PARISH COUNCIL ELECTIONS Parish council elections have been set for 4th May. Anyone interested in becoming a parish councillor should go to the Wiltshire Council website for more information. The Clerk has to remain impartial and does not get involved in the election process. Spotlight Contacts: Contributions for the May edition (copy by Saturday 15th April please) can be emailed to [email protected] or delivered to Seend Post Office. Editors: Tessa Doe (01380 828617) and Sue Isaac (828461). Please note that you should always send emailed items to the Spotlight address, not to Sue or Tessa – even if they have emailed you from their own email address – just in case they are not around. Joanna Goddard (828488) organises printing Mondays and also types up the items left at Seend PO. Fiona Johnson is the contact for delivery (828401) and Chris Brooker (828047) for advertising. Do let Joanna or Fiona know if you can help. Lost emails: Emails to Spotlight sometimes go astray for no obvious reason. If email correspondents don‟t receive an acknowledgement by the end of the Monday after the Spotlight deadline, please ring Tessa or Sue (see above) to check if all is well. And please note the following. When sending emails to [email protected] please include the word SPOTLIGHT in uppercase as the first word of the Subject. This will help the editorial team sifting through all the messages stopped by the SPAM filter, which sometimes include genuine messages for SPOTLIGHT. PDFs: We cannot normally use PDF files of posters etc as they require a specific shape and space. Word documents give us the flexibility to adapt your wording and pictures to fit the space available.

MAX BOLTON 13/11/1942 – 09/03/2017 Max Bolton was a well-known figure in Seend and not just because of his considerable height, but because of his commitment to the village and in particular his support to the Community Centre. Treasurer for over ten years, he was much more than a balance sheet man. His overview of the needs of the Centre, his quiet management of small tasks and his calm administration of a complex financial system were pretty much a case-study on how to perform the role. Max‟s gentle but sharp wit, his patience, his kindness, his adaptability, his exacting, scrupulous approach and his willingness to engage in debate were qualities beyond price. All those who knew him have lost a genuine friend. Max‟s final illness was distressingly fast and many of us won‟t have had an opportunity to say goodbye to him in person. His funeral will be at 11.30am at the Crematorium on 31st March and afterwards at his beloved Community Centre. All are welcome. Hatty Stafford Charles, Chairman, Seend Community Centre Mgt Committee MRS. JOYCE (JOY) RANSTED passed peacefully away in the Pilgrims Hospices Thanet on Friday 17th February 2017 aged 93 years, just one month short of the 94th Birthday, with her daughters Rosalind and Anne by her side. I am sure there are still some people who will remember her when she lived in the village. Our parents came to Seend in 1946 when Dad was posted to R.A.F. Melksham (Dad was born in Five Oak Green, Tonbridge, Kent and Mum in Worcester and they met in London during the war). They lived first in the Cleeve, where I was born and in 1951 they bought a cottage and moved to Sells Green, where Anne was born. Mum was widowed in January 1972 when Dad died very suddenly aged 51 from a Heart Attack. After 60 years in Seend Mum moved to live near Anne in Westgate on Sea, Kent in December 2006 and she continued to talk about life and the people of Seend right up until the last week of her life.

No matter what ever your results are I hope that you all enjoy this season’s volleyball. Last season saw the European Volleyball Federation (CEV) impose on us that all NVL Clubs follow the correct procedures for International Transfer of players. This effectively means that annually any player competing in the NVL whose Federation of Origin is not England would need to follow this procedure and pay the appropriate fee. We were successful in negotiating a phased implementation of this with it only applying to Super 8 teams last season. However this season Division 1 Clubs must also now follow this new procedure.

Unsurprisingly the favourite sound was birdsong. A spokesman for the RSPB said that the human ear was naturally tuned to birdsong which was why many people found it a gentle and enjoyable sound by which to be woken. What was perhaps more surprising was that the second sound on the list was church bells. This shows how much the tradition of ringing is still appreciated by so much of the population.

  • Enjoy K and a Canal Destinations Seend Walk
    Seend Circular Walk 31/2 miles. Map: OS Landranger 173 Swindon and Devizes (inn GR 932613). This is a circular walk “ Hereabouts, the canal borders the southern boundary of the North Wilt- shire Clay Vale, and the limestone hills around Bath and Dundas are but a distant memory. It is almost as if the Kennet & Avon Canal is pausing for breath before the rigors of the Caen Hill Locks just a few miles distant. The villages of Seend and Seend Cleeve, midway between Trowbridge and Devizes, straddle a small ridge of hills overlooking this section of the canal. Along the waterway lies a selection of locks and an old iron works site. “ “ A map of the Seend Walk Sponsored by the Kennet & Avon Trade Association— working to provide facilities for users of the K&A Canal Page 1 seend Circular Walk Take a stroll through Seend Leave the Barge car park and turn right, following the lane into Seend Cleeve. In 1/2 mile, just before Rew Farm on the left, turn right into Park Lane. Beyond a cottage, Park Lane continues as an unmetalled bridle path for 150 yards to a pair of gates. Turn sharp right, and follow the right-hand hedgerow across the next couple of fields. Beyond a gate in the corner of the second field, continue directly ahead across a couple of smaller fields to Seend Park Swingbridge and the Kennet & Avon Canal. Follow the towpath to the right for 11/2 miles until you reach the Swingbridge beyond Seend Top Lock, number 21. This is Rusty Lane Swingbridge.
